Have you noticed any changes in your mental health during Covid-19 pandemic? Who would think, last year at this time, that 1 year later we will be still living in the pandemic? Certainly not me. I thought it will probably be all finished by Summer. My assumptions weren’t based on any professional theories, just on my own predictions and feelings. Now I believe, it was some kind of coping mechanism to manage stress and keep mental health on the positive level. Moreover, knowing that pandemic will be over a year would be overwhelming.

Overthinking is something I struggle with through all my life. I learn and work on how to stop overthinking for a long time. Just a few days ago, I got an email from work which made me feel disappointed and sad. When I think about it now it wasn’t a big deal at all. However, at that time I couldn’t stop overthinking it.

Should I try to explain? Should I question the other person? Is it better to react or pr ..read more

Furthermore, women usually get less paid jobs. In consequences it is more difficult to become financially self-sufficient. My tr ..read more
